Today Rhydian is still a keen sportman and admits to being addicted to his twice daily fitness regime.  He combines his successful career as a performing artist with sell out concerts, prestigious guest appearances and his role as Patron of the Prince of Wales Trust. 

Rhydian

Since bursting onto our TV screens during X-Factor 2007, 26 year old Rhydian has seldom been out of the news.   Male debut artist of the year in 2008,  his first album achieved double platinum status.  He has performed all over the world and also had a sell out Tour in April/May 2009 with 24 dates throughout the UK and Ireland.

His rich baritone voice and mesmerising stage presence has brought pleasure to millions. 

Born in Wales on Valentine's Day, Rhydian began singing at the age of three.  In his teenage years he was a keen and talented rugby player before an injury curtailed his sporting career and led him back to his first love of music.  He won a bursary to the prestigious Birmingham Conservatoire, graduating with a first class Honours degree in 2007.
